Wish the guy who followed him beeping was on this site to find out what the heck he was thinking since he followed him. I should have followed the guy following the guy!

Oh Sheldon.

No one was coming thru the tunnel from the other direction. There would nit have been room for two. Looked like a contractor vehicle more than a personal vehicle. Downright scary....
What’s a multimodal ?

A serious question, exactly what is a "redneck" ? No smarty replies please, would really like to know the definition, I assume it is not a racial slur ? But perhaps it is ? Do all/most countries use this (like in England, Australia, etc.) ? Is it meant to be derogatory ? Why ? How would one know if a truck driver just was not familiar with the location here ? Does "redneck" mean something similar to illiterate, not able to read signs ? Or does it mean an individual who just ignores signs ? Would like to understand, hear that from time to time in The Villages but not sure exactly what it means.

Carefully. I saw him do it. He must have just fit. It looked to me to be a regular pick-up, not a super big one. Saw him go thru, stop and turn left. I made no judgements such as some have. I didn’t see his face but as I said seemed like a commercial truck of some sort. Confused I would say. Seems to me it would have been evident he was in the wrong place pretty quickly. I expected to see brake lights before the tunnel and maybe back-up lights but nope. I was trying to get my camera ready thinking he would back up. On a lighter note, I love my subject line of multimodal pick-up. I’m sure some opened it thinking something different!
